Bake the chicken breasts in a hot oven for 15 minutes. Peel and dice the cooking apples. Drain and chop the wild mushrooms (keep all the liquid from the mushrooms). Chop the fresh herbs finely. Boil and mash the potatoes with a knob of butter and mix with the apples, the mushrooms and the fresh herbs.

Remove the pumpkin's hard skin and all the seeds and slice. Fry the pumpkin slices in butter and olive oil until golden on both sides.

To make the sauce, mix the water that the mushrooms were soaking in with the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add the perry, salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the liquid by a quarter and add the black pudding slices and the dried thyme, cook for a further 10 minutes.

To serve, place the slices of pumpkin on a warm plate. Pile some mashed potato mixture on top of the pumpkin, slice the chicken up and add to the top of the mashed potato. Pour the sauce around the pile of potato and chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
